Elite™ Organ Opus II Tonal Philosophy

Allen Elite™ Opus II is installed in the Collégial Notre-Dame d'Écouis, a large church
dedicated in 1313. It is the first Allen Elite™ organ installed in Europe.
Its French Romantic specification of 72 stops is distributed over three manuals.
Cavaillé-Coll voices are present throughout the instrument. The case and façade
pipes of the long silent 1898 Jules Anneessens organ still reside in the rear balcony,
shared now with the Opus II console and audio system. The building acoustic supports the organ
beautifully. Final tonal finishing was masterfully accomplished by Jean-Philippe le Trévou
of Allen Studio, Paris.
